Just prior to the release of preliminary information from Attorney
General Bob Barr, Democrats held a telephone conference to talk about their
Plan B to harass the President. As I
wrote in 2016, they will not their non-stop
investigations him and his family and his businesses. [I plan to reveal more of
the reasons why later this week].
With multiple ‘front’ runners on
their ticket for the next election each hoping to sucker the younger generation
into believing they will be able to deliver trillions of dollars of free
goodies….in reality, they’re perverting financial reality.
There's a division in America so extreme it's hard to see a
way back. Whether it's left vs. right, race - or religion. It's never been like this...The toxic
intolerance that Progressives demonstrate toward Middle America has grown to
fervor like toxic intensity in the media, on campuses, in Congress, on the
campaign trail, etc.
- A Liberal vs. Conservative
Culture War: that's near-identical
to the buildup of every major civil war in history. With each viewing the
other as vermin... Increasing the chances a civil conflict will spread
like wildfire...
“Vice President Mike Pence says the left uses euphemisms and
catchphrases to describe their progressive agendas. Pence told the recent CPAC
gathering in the nation’s capital: “Bernie [Sanders] has been joined by a
chorus of candidates and newly elected officials who have papered over the
failed policies of socialism with bumper-sticker slogans and slick social-media
campaigns.”
Of course, delusional people have no idea that one or more of these
promises will put the final nail into our financial coffin and put millions out
of work and could signal martial law and the end of America as we know it.
The Socialists seem to want a model of society based on where China is
heading…cashless, oppressive and controlled social behavior which is monitored
24/7…and they have armies of well funded and organized sympathizers at their
beck and call rally to their Leftist cause.
Your rights will be essentially outlawed or tightly controlled, health
care controlled and doled out by government authorized providers [if any
doctors remain they will likely be substandard and waiting times could be
lengthy as seen in other nations where national health care programs are in
place].
The media will be controlled and/or censored [we’ve already seen that by
the elimination/suppression of conservative voices on Facebook, Twitter and
Google] and the one conservative voice many of us enjoyed, Fox, recently bit
the dust when it was acquired the the Disney giant. Americans are herded into idealogical-controlled
channels as most of the crap on media outlets isn’t suitable for those who
think for themselves…
The way America is headed I won’t be surprised to see public book
burnings like the Nazis did during the 1940s…the well-funded unhinged LEFT [George
Soros, Tom Steyer Bloomberg, etc.] is already doing its best to undermine our
nation and to revise our history by pulling down statues of southern Civil War
leaders and crying out for reparations for slavery [should we deduct the
welfare payments they’ve received or make such payments to Union soldier who
died to secure the freedom of slaves]?
The LEFT won’t be happy until it controls, destabilizes and dominates all
media and thought. Personally, I stopped
using Facebook about a year ago and do not miss it. I still use twitter to promote this blog but
am questioning the wisdom of that too…I just started looking at Gab and Minds
to carry on conservative conversations with like-minded souls…and of course,
since Google hosts my blog I have noted they stopped promoting it as well and I
plan to start using DuckDuckGo or StartPage to assist with my promotional
efforts.
Avoiding the gatekeepers is a challenge when you’re up against Silicon
Valley controllers such as Apple, Google and others.
No doubt few seemed to notice how the media peddled false information
about Trump time and time again, its discredited Trump/Russia conspiracy
theories have been peddled non-stop without apology while Big Media are
diminishing the voices of Trump’s internet influencers ahead of the 2020
elections…even downplaying the fact that John McCain was the secret leak behind
the Trump dossier to the media, lambasting Trump for his tweets blasting this
action.
Search engine results and social media trends now point people to
establishment-approved sources.
Independent, alternative news sources that once thrived online are now
blacklisted, shadow banned or are hidden from public view. [NewsGuard is an effort by Big Media to give
its “approved” or so-called trustworthy status in your smartphone to sites…it
gives such status to BuzzFeed which in my opinion makes it a joke]!
Facebook, for instance, still allows the anti-white, anti-semite minister
Louis Farrakhan to blather on and allowed B-list nut-jobs who parade around
with a bloody ‘Trump head’ access but will deny non-violent conservatives such
as Jesse Kelly, Roger Stone, Gavin McInnes, Tommy Robinson and others a
platform!
The Democratic Party gains has been built on executive fiat and the
stupidity of poorly educated voters which is why they are so anxious to allow
floods of even more non-citizens flood into our nation though our southern
border [and then bribe them with lots of goodies in the form of FREE
money/welfare/food stamps/medical coverage, etc. when we don’t even adequately
offer those services to citizens!
Despite the perpetual stream of Left wing stories of about spies, twitter
bots, troll farms and the like, there has been exactly ZERO evidence of a
single voter who changed their mind due to social media interaction much less
had their vote changed for them by a foreign power.
Now the Left wants to change the Electoral College system because even
though it has worked properly for more than 225 years, now they are crying over
Trump’s win…The College considers all Americans in campaigns but Democratic Rep
Steve Cohen of TN wants to undermine this system effectively allowing NY and CA
to run the nation!
I don’t imagine our Founders had ever wanted small states to voluntarily
surrender their proportional representation but that’s what the “fix” Cohen and
Dems from CO are trying to do…good luck with that-I guess you can’t fix stupid
when it comes to many Democrats.
The complete erosion of civil liberties and bankrupting America seems to
be the ultimate goal for Socialist-Democratic Party. Perhaps they will succeed and perhaps they
will ignite another civil war as well?!
Saving America from the forces of radical social-democrats who want to
cripple America seems an almost insurmountable task in light of the amount of
money they seem to have along with how much of mainstream media and internet
outlets they now control.
P.S. Think about the possibility of a crisis so massive that our
civilization simply will not come back from it. We'll have to work hard to survive
and rebuild, as well as trade and pass on knowledge to future generations.
The movie Waterworld comes to mind and I can't help but imagine what
things will be like. There will be no banks, and while I believe that we won't
have money in its traditional sense, we will be using various currencies to
trade. Prepping some items now will put you ahead of the curve by leaps and
bounds if an event like this ever occurs.
So, here's what I
stash...
1.
Ammo. Ammo is going
to be a huge bartering point throughout the collapse. Eventually, someday, it
will run out. But that won't stop people from trading for it.
2.
Precious metals. It's silly, because who needs gold when there's a food
shortage? But you'll be surprised. Throughout history, society has been known
to revert to using precious metals, because it is a common medium to which we
can assign value.
3.
Thread and needle. This is another interesting currency that has stood the test
of time. People can repair many different items with needle and thread.
4.
Tools. Everybody
needs tools. And the best news about tools is that they are not exactly
disposable. I have stocked extra hammers, saws and woodworking tools; because I
know I will not miss them if I trade them.
5.
Shoes. While there
are ways to fashion some type of clothes post-crisis, shoes are much more
difficult, so stock several good pairs of hiking boots if you can afford to do
so. Be sure to buy them in the sizes of your family members. This way, if your
spouse or kids need shoes and there is no crisis, you can simply use them.
6.
Knowledge. Perhaps the
best currency around, knowledge has been, is, and always will be prized by all.
Capitalize on the time that you have, while the libraries are still open and
the internet is still on. Buy how-to books that deal with hunting, trapping,
and fishing gardening and building, tool-making and repair, as well as vet
science and medicine. Believe me, if there's one thing people will want - it's
knowing how to do things they didn't have to know how to do prior to the
collapse. This is the stuff we will have to teach our kids.
7.
Seeds. Another good
option is to buy a couple of extra cans of long-term storage seeds. People want
to eat, and there is nothing better than fresh organic fruit, herbs and
vegetables.
8.
Toys. People go to great
lengths to keep their kids happy. While people will likely have toys
immediately post-collapse, sooner or later, they will want more. You can make
some good trades for LEGOs.
Invest into creative
things people might want, too, such as musical instruments and art supplies.
Life after a crisis is about survival, but it doesn't have to be boring and I
don’t mind being the "cool guy" once in a while. If you wonder what
else you should or shouldn’t stash, or if you have some particularly interesting
barter items of your own you want to share, feel free to drop me a line!
Until you see clearly how
the NEW rules of society work, you will be trapped within a system of Progressive
control.
What you mistake for
reality is instead a fabricated simulation, designed to keep you trapped right
where the system wants you.

Disaster can strike at any time. A crisis will not wait until you
and your family members are safely together. That's why having a communications
plan is critical.
Your survival communications plan should cover at the minimum:
1.
Primary and secondary meeting place within the neighborhood
(in case of fire or home invasion). These two places can be a neighbor's house
and a neighborhood park.
2.
Primary and secondary meeting place in town (in case your
neighborhood is evacuated). You can choose a library, a church or a coffee
shop.
3.
Two out-of-state points of contact. These two points of
contact should be your relatives or family friends that do not live in your
state. Call them in case of an emergency and let them know if you are okay. It
may be easier to make long-distance calls, as the lines in town may be tied up.
These 2 contacts should be able to help you communicate with other family
members in town.
4.
Contact info distribution. You need to create multiple
copies of all family members' and close friends' contact information and
distribute these copies to the said family members and friends. I've seen
families on different sides of town unable to make contact with each other
because they can't remember the number and they didn't have the contact list
securely on them. That is one of the stupidest and most avoidable mistakes.
5.
If you’re a parent, you should have your kids' school/day
care contact info on you, including teacher's cell numbers if they agree to
share them with you.
I recommend buying long-range walkie-talkies and putting
them in your EDC bags or emergency car kits. It's challenging to get
younger kids to keep their walkie-talkie in their backpack without showing
it off at school or losing it, but you should try anyway. It will
give you a great peace of mind to know that you can communicate with your
child. Just check it every morning when you give them their lunch and don't
forget to charge it periodically.
If you want to become an emergency communications pro, I
would recommend getting a radio. While many "experts" will tell you
to use a HAM radio, I am not a huge fan. See, operating a HAM radio requires a
license. There are a handful of licensees in every state, the operation is heavily
regulated by the FCC and tabs are kept on everyone who has one of those. Opt
instead for a sideband radio, invest in a good antenna and amplifier and learn,
learn, learn the ropes before you attempt to make your first contact.
If I have one major piece of advice regarding communicating
in an emergency, it's this: do not use the phone to call - text instead.
The phone systems (if they are still operable) will be
overloaded. You have a much better chance of getting through to a loved one via
text message.
Over the last few years I
have covered, on this blog, the rise of populist politics across the developed
world, the growing risk of resource scarcity, the impact of a changing climate
and the cultural and economic impact of demographic shifts and how these
various dynamics will interact in the coming decades.

Who doesn't like cool gadgets and survival gear? I know I do! So
when I was done prepping all of the basic items lie fire starters and medical
supplies, I turned my attention to a bit more unique gear. These 10 items are
awesome to have and will definitely put you above the crowd.
1. MIDLAND XT511 2 Way Radio with Dynamo Crank Power*
This little radio is available from Midland Corporation and
is a must-have. It has 5 power options, including the crank option. It is
packed with a ton of features. Besides the good old AM/FM radio, clock and NOOA
Weather radio, the XT511 has 22 channels, 121 privacy codes, 5 call alerts,
voice control and activation and activity monitor (notifies you if it finds
activity on one of your selected channels.)
2. Goal Zero Yeti 150 Solar Generator, available from Goal Zero
Yeti 150 is portable and very handy. You can charge it by
connecting it to a solar panel, wall outlet or your car. I've used it to power my
smart phone and laptop before. You can also use it to power a headlamp, a
digital camera or a tablet.
This tape is pure beast. I think it is among the most durable
repair tapes I've used. You can use it to repair a tent, patch up an inflatable
boat or to tape plastic over a broken car window. I have taped my backpack and
jacket with it, too and it's held up quite well.
You can use this Sun Flair oven to cook pizza, dry fruits and
veggies and disinfect water. It is portable and comes with its own pots.
The Food Saver vacuum seals your food to make it last longer,
avoid freezer burn and taste better. You can also use it to waterproof things.
I can't tell you enough how useful night vision equipment can be
in a survival situation. The thing is, it's pretty pricey. Instead of buying
the goggles, opt for this monocular.
7. Tactical Vest *
This vest is lightweight, fully adjustable and gives you plenty of
room to carry your ammo and gear. It even has a couple of hidden pockets for
money and documents.
For those of us who live in cold climates, these boots are an
absolute must. Even if it doesn't get below freezing, you will eventually get
very cold in the regular flimsy department store boots.
If you don't have this little kit, you are losing out. In a
prolonged crisis you will likely end up in the wilderness periodically or
frequently to look for food and water and you never know, you may get bit or
stung. This pump takes care of venomous and poisonous bites and stings from
insects, snakes and marine creatures. You won't have to cut the wound either,
which is a huge plus if you ask me.
This GPS is a rugged hand held navigator with a built-in world
map, wireless sharing capability, area calculation option and a whole 20 hours
of battery life.
I recommend that you invest in good tools and gear, but keep in
mind that no gadget will save your life unless you practice good basic survival
strategies.
